Building this Project
IAR EWARM Project
There is an IAR EWARM project bacnet.ewp that can be used to build the project.
GNU Makefile
There is a GNU Makefile that uses arm-none-eabi-gcc to build the project. It also includes recipes for openocd or stlink, and gdb or ddd for debugging.
This is used in the continuous integration pipeline to validate the build is not broken. The Makefile is called from an Ubuntu image container after installing the necesary tools:
sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get install -qq build-essential
sudo apt-get install -qq gcc-arm-none-eabi
sudo apt-get install -qq libnewlib-arm-none-eabi
For debugging, install these tools:
sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get install -qq openocd gdb-multiarch
Shield option
If, instead of the DFR0259 shield for RS485, the build is intended for the
linksprite shield, make SHIELD=linksprite can be used.
CMake & Visual Studio Code
There is a CMakeLists.txt file that enables building the project with the tools that CMake can find. It is useful under Visual Studio Code editor with the CMake Tools extension for quickly configuring the build environment, choosing a cross-compiler, and building.
For Visual Studio Code debugging, add the Cortex-Debug extension, and configure its settings for the specific OS and path of the tools. For Windows using MinGW64:
"cortex-debug.armToolchainPath.windows": "C:/msys64/mingw64/bin",
"cortex-debug.gdbPath.windows": "C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/gdb-multiarch.exe",
"cortex-debug.objdumpPath.windows": "C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/objdump.exe",
"cortex-debug.openocdPath.windows": "C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/openocd.exe",
To add the build and debug tools to MinGW64 environment:
pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-arm-none-eabi-gcc
pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-openocd
pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb-multiarch
